In another life, things may have been different. Very AU. Some characters make appearances but they are OOC. Also, I don't like John Paul. Never did. This fic does not paint him in a good light. Written and updated on here & AO3.

AU. Inspired by the television series 'In The Flesh.' This will be a long term fic that will be updated at the earliest once weekly, or at the latest once monthly. Some terms may be confusing to people who haven't watched ITF (such as the drug Neurotryptiline), but the majority of the fic will deviate from the show.

A sequel to the series of stories following Real Arms Around Me including Doing It Again. This one begins in the spring of 2016, a couple of days after Say It Back. Brendan and Ste are making a life together after prison. This story is like a soap in that it's an ongoing story which won't be finishing any time soon. I promise it won't be abandoned or ended without warning x

After Brendan is sent to prison he learns to accept that he will spend his life inside, he makes new friends, enemies and even sees some old faces before his trial. But will he actually be given life or eventually reunite with Steven?

16 year old Ste was playing a harmless game of "Spot The DILF" with his mates when the most recent subject of his lewd comments turned out to be the father of one of his best friends. Unable to push aside his initial impression of Declan's dad, he gave into the urge of being a horrendous flirt whenever he got the chance, encouraged and excited when Brendan started to flirt back.

Ste hit bottom but he clawed his way back up, makes a new life for himself out of the wreckage of losing his one true love. Brendan returns after serving his time bringing everything he thought he knew into question and putting his life in danger. Can they make it through the turmoil to build a future together? Or are past doubts and betrayals destined to tear them apart? Ste POV.

After Ste's best friend, Callum, decides to go straight, Ste runs off to Ireland to a place he's heard about where criminals can go to be free. He settles in, makes friends and even meets a girl. Life is going well ... if only he could get rid of his unhealthy obsession with the boss. (AU featuring lots of HO characters in a very unusual circumstance.)

It's 2016 and Ste's life's a mess: his drug rehabilitation program isn't going well, his relationship with JP is on the rocks and he can't stop himself from feeling broken inside. That's until he starts to receive mysterious pictures of a lighthouse in Dublin that hint perhaps he isn't as alone as he first thought.

When nineteen year old Leah Barnes took on the job as Jim McGinn's intern for the summer, she never expected that it would lead to a man who holds the key to unlocking her Dad's past. Could the mysterious and cold prisoner she meets be the missing moustached man of her childhood memories?

When Ste goes for a job at exciting new club DOA, he fails to notice that the majority of staff and clientele avoid garlic and sunlight, or how the owner in particular keeps looking longingly at his neck. After a spate of disappearances and murders Ste begins to realise that perhaps he's in too deep in a dangerous world that he doesn't understand

Ste and Brendan AU multi-chapter fic. Brendan and Ste's separate lives keep colliding at various points in their lives and however much they try to keep things separate, they keep crossing paths. It seems like fate but these intense moments are all too fleeting, especially when Brendan has a family to think about. But the more Brendan sees him, the more he can't forget him.

15 year old Ste Hay has a hard childhood as he enters his penultimate year at High School - his mother is an alcoholic and he is failing in every subject.

AU: Brendan Brady is a hunter of demons. He was born into it, forged to be a weapon following family tradition. Ste Hay is a half demon, half human with a destiny that could spell the end of the world as it is known. When the two meet neither they nor the demons realise the implications nor the consequences.

AU Stendan. Brendan needs to get him, Eileen and the kids out of the country to keep them safe so he books them a last minute holiday, where he meets Ste, their holiday rep. He finds he can't keep away from Ste no matter how hard he tries to begin with. Both of them have secrets, but can they find the strength to put love above everything else?

AU Stendan. Brendan and Ste were at school together years ago, and had a brief but intense secret fling that neither of them have forgotten. They're both 25 now, and they both seem to have moved on with their lives, until they see each other again for the first time in years, and everything changes. Rated M.

An AU fic written in collaboration with Kabr. When hardened gangster Brendan Brady meets 16 year old Steven Hay he knows he will go to any extent to keep the boy under protection. What he doesn't realise is that he's in need of a safe haven too. Stendan, M, obvs!

Ste and Brendan Football AU. Ste's the star player for his team until he meets his rival club's newest signing: Brendan Brady.

AU - Ste is looking for work in Liverpool at the end of the 19th century. There he meets a handsome but angry Irish club owner called Brendan. Give it a go; it's dramatic and sexy, and far less pretentious than it sounds.

Post-Brendan's imprisonment. Ste struggles to deal with Brendan's absence, then is unexpectedly gifted with a rather unfortunate reunion, via a stint in prison. As their time together once again draws to a close, they both begin to realise that a taste of honey is indescribably worse than none at all. Warning for dub-con and suggested non-con

Two chapter thing, just a short idea I had. Brendan is released from prison four years down the line. He thinks Steven has moved on and it nearly kills him, until Ste finds him at his lowest and brings him back to life

One shot. 7 months on, Ste gets a call regarding a tragic incident that has happened in one of the cells in Brendan's prison and Ste realises that maybe life without Brendan isn't worth living at all. Sad and contains mild drug use/suicide.

A concerned Brendan pays Ste a visit whilst he deals with the aftermath of cancelling his wedding. In his fragile emotional state, Ste loses his self-control and finally takes what he's wanted for months. Smut. I mean it, it's filth. Stendan.

Fan fiction of eight chapters that considers only episodes till mid-July, 2011. What would have happened if Roman had left Essen seeking his fortune elsewhere after the Steinkamps' failure? Would he be able to forget Deniz?

What happens when the impulses take over, someone fails to stop being dangerous and someone else can't stop thinking of a new feeling growing inside him? What would you do to protect the person you love?

This is an one-shot collection without a precise order nor a connection to each other, except for the fact that they're pretty depressing. I want to warn you guys that the death of a main character is possible, where it's needed I'll put a warning before the scene that should not be nominated. Added a fic about Stendan's future after Brendan's arrest.

A father has always expectations when a son is born: a decent education, a good job, a family, and especially that he's always happy and doesn't make your mistakes. A closer look to the Deniz/Marian relationship, both good and bad times.
